Losing a pet that you love is incredibly painful. They aren’t just animals they are family, they become so intertwined with your life. Their absence is crushing. I wrote a piece to process and honor Sammie’s life. If you are a dog owner you may enjoy it. www.imkylelambert.com/articles/my-...

Goodbye Samurai Warrior Princess 💔 You were the sweetest girl. You loved us so well. 16 years with you wasn’t enough. We didn’t deserve you. Cuddle and feast with Chainsaw in heaven. I can’t believe my babies are gone. I hate it. RIP

Your corporate organization doesn’t care about you. People at your organization may. But your organization doesn’t.

My Loom Chrome Extension is live! Long press your mouse key on a Loom video while it’s playing to increase the playback speed to 3x (customizable). Been begging for this capability so I built it myself. Thanks AI. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/speed...

Hold mouse button while a Loom video is playing to temporarily increase playback speed.

This unified approach is rad! Have you found the base templates comprehensive enough as a jumping point? Are you still encouraging branching workflows even with separate directories?

I’m a big fan of Loom videos, I watch & record a ton of them. I’ve always wanted the same functionality that YouTube has: Long-press your mouse while the video is playing to temporarily increase playback speed. So I built a Chrome Extension you can run in dev mode. github.com/kslambert/Sp...

My advice for folks in tech who want to stay in tech: If you’re at a company who won’t let you work with and experiment with AI tools and workflows… get out. Even if it’s a pay cut, get out. How we work is changing. Find a place that will help you navigate this change.

I know keeping up with our industry can be challenging. I’m going to try and compile some summary posts. Here’s my first: kylelambert.substack.com/p/this-week-...

This week in AI and Design

The design world is constantly shifting which can be exciting, and cause some anxiety.

I’ve been working on a CLI at work. Figma is terrible for designing a CLI and trying to work on flows and styles within a dev environment isn’t great either… so I started vibe coding a CLI design tool. It feels magical to build niche tools and utilities!

Finally getting around to reading Red Rising. My friends have been pushing it for years. I’m more of a fantasy reader and I thought this was going to feel sci fi heavy. It’s very good and I am realizing I owe my friends an apology for being stubborn.

Kyle Lambert @lambert.fun · 17/01/2026

I started vibe coding a mini design tool. A CLI workflow designer. It’s so helpful to build workflows and have a GUI to mess with CLI designs! I’m hooked.

A new post from yours truly. ✍️ AI prototyping pitfalls for product designers I have been thinking a lot about designers hesitant to embrace AI, along with AI creating new traps for enthusiastic designers. www.imkylelambert.com/articles/ai-...

As tech rapidly shifts, it only makes sense that how we show up as designers needs to change too. For years, we held on to clean, linear process...

I heard a term today that resonated: “Faux productivity” Even with all the technological leaps most software leaves us in this state.

We all have our own paths to walk, but if you’re a designer unwilling to invest in new skills and technology, here is my advice: Research graphic design’s transition to computers in the 80’s. Or prints transition to digital being prominent. These shifts leave folks behind.

Sometimes AI just shows up. My 3 year old son’s current obsessions include cherry picker trucks and ballerinas. So I prompted ChatGPT to generate a coloring sheet. He’s going to flip when he sees it.

I read a ton of fantasy. I decided to give writing it a go over my vacation. Who knows where this will go? A short story, a book, a forgotten file on my Drive… No matter what it’s been a fun practice. Here’s the start of something I’m working on.

Stay at a job because you like your coworkers, you enjoy the work, you are growing. Don’t stay at a job because “you feel loyal.” Executives and Boards won’t hesitate to eliminate your role if they see an upside to their bottom line.
